so of course, governor romney's got stiff competition. but i would say he's the candidate that's been able to win in every region of the country. he's the only one that's got both the message and the money, and the organization, as he's proved time and time again. he's won the last three in a row. he will come out today with more delegates by far than any other candidate. so i think more and more people see him as the guy that can win, that can appeal to independent voters and can go toe-to-toe with obama on the things that matter, which are jobs, debt and deficit. >> virginia's ballot is only including mitt romney and ron paul. >> right. >> given that, is the state's primary still matter? >> i expect mitt to take all of the votes. i was hoping that all the candidates would be on the ballot. we would have a more robust turnout, a better identification for those republicans for the november election. but unfortunately, two of them, santorum and gingrich did not qualify under our rules. it is disappointing. at the end of the day, i think ei
